Chandigarh, January 7

The high-level committee set up by the Punjab government to look into the alleged security lapse during the prime minister’s Punjab visit has decided to put on hold all its proceedings following directions by the Supreme Court.

The committee headed by Justice Mehtab Singh Gill had issued a questionnaire to the top brass of Punjab Police, including the DGP, and was to scrutinise their response on Friday.

Justice Gill, when contacted, said the apex court had restrained the committees from going ahead. “We will wait for further directions from the Supreme Court,” he said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
